How Does a Root Canal Work?
A tooth infection develops when the bacteria that normally reside in your mouth work their way underneath the surface of a tooth. These germs will begin actively working to decay the delicate layers of enamel. Once they manage to reach the nerve of your tooth, called the pulp, it will alert you to the damage by responding with pain. When you have persistent aching or throbbing within a single area, it’s likely that you’ll need endodontics to salvage your smile.
Endodontics, also called root canals, are only used when absolutely necessary. Dr. Naik will perform this restorative dentistry service to prevent an affected tooth from being extracted. During your endodontics treatment, Dr. Naik and our team will go deep into the layers of the tooth to remove the bacteria and compromised parts of enamel. We want to be as thorough as possible to eliminate any chance of the infection from reoccurring. Dr. Naik may use an antibiotic to effectively cleanse the tooth, and then complete the procedure by placing a dental crown.
Remember, the sooner you contact our Flint dental office, the more of your tooth will be saved.
